Today is my birthday! That means I get to have BIRTHDAY CAKE! Ever since I can remember I’ve requested the same cake for my birthday – angel food cake. As a kid I didn’t care that it was fat free and a low calorie dessert. I just liked its name and loved how it tasted.

Know anybody who can’t eat a bite when they are stressed? Unfortunately that’s not me. Food is my emotional crutch even when my stomach is rebelling. Yesterday I got sick from something I ate (won’t gross you out with the details but it wasn’t pretty) and even though my stomach was in no shape to take in any food I wanted to eat anyway.

I used to be one of those people that would order a salad for my meal whenever I went out, thinking that it was always the healthiest choice on the menu. Then I got educated and found out a salad can be one of the highest calorie and fat items on the entire menu and that I would have consumed less calories by ordering a steak or a burger (with potatoes!).

It’s been a month since I started getting acupuncture to help with my headaches and with my food cravings. I haven’t noticed any change for the better in the past week, but that might be due to the extreme stress I’ve been under (the big “C” for a family member). I feel like everything in my life is out of whack so I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that it feels like the acupuncture hasn’t done anything this week.

Most of us know losing weight is hard work and for every personal milestone we reach, a celebration or treat is in order. Instead of reaching for food, treat yourself to some flowers. You deserve it!

My third acupuncture treatment was a couple days ago and I’m losing my skepticism about how “sticking a bunch of needles in me can help alleviate my headaches; and help me control cravings so that I stop overeating.”

Have you ever looked at one of the “ideal” weight charts in your doctor’s office and thought, “get real – there’s no way I’ll ever get down to that weight again unless I can find a time machine to take me back to my teenage years or grow six (or twelve) inches in the next month!”

Several years ago when the Atkins diet was super popular and food manufacturers were falling over themselves to flood the supermarket shelves with low carb foods, I jumped on the bandwagon and lost 35 pounds in 2 1/2 months.

Do you want to lose weight? I know I sure do but even though I’m constantly saying it, I’m not always doing something about it. I seem to be something of a “bag of hot air.” Wishing and hoping don’t make it happen though.
